Oregano Oil

5 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Oregano oil can be modified using basil in place of oregano and is a great pesto substitute or vegan dressing. Oregano, parsley and extra virgin olive oil.

Chimchurri or Oregano Pesto in a tin pouring cup with bread and soup on the side

Oregano oil (known as chimichurri) is unusual and fresh and an easy substitute for pesto. Perfect for the summer herb season coming soon. Change up the herbs and use basil in place of the oregano if you like. Use in soups and as a great dipping sauce for bread. Perfect vegan salad dressing option. Delicious on steak! This recipe was used as an add-in for my Rustic Tomato Soup recipe.

    Enjoyed! I doubled the recipe and keep the remainder in the fridge, stirring it up before using as a sandwich spread. Awesome, thanks for a great recipe Sally.

    I feel like an idiot for all the times I have spent money on bottled dipping oils from the store. This was so easy and I had everything in my cupboard. I served it at game night for my lady friends and had warm, tomato piccata bread with it and everyone loved it!
